<DIV><DIV>Claude is a fallen angel from the hedonistic 1970s nightclubbing scene in Paris and St. Tropez. As <I>Anthology of Apparitions</I> begins, he is in his forties, destroyed by the mystery of his sister's disappearance?he sits in a cafe drinking and day-dreaming. Only the ghostly appearances from his past make life tolerable. Claude is haunted by memories and visions of 1976, when he was 16 and his sister Marina only a child.
